Malky Mackay has declared Chelsea midfielder Billy Gilmour the best player Scotland has produced in a generation.
Gilmour will be part of Scotland's Euros campaign this month.
"I don't think I'm going out on a limb when I say that he is the most exciting young player Scotland have produced in a generation," said Mackay, the former Watford and Cardiff boss who oversaw Gilmour's development as performance director at the Scottish FA.
"I have managed top players, played against them.
"I'm always conscious of building players up, I get that. But for those who know him, he is the real deal."
